The funny thing was is that the QPF forecasts weren't that bad - and the hires models way too high.
I had 0.36" liquid here (5.2" of snow) which was pretty close to the mean on the GEFS/EPS/Euro/GFS and about 50% of the NAM. I wonder if that fronto band really went to town so far to the NW because it really maximized the snow growth zone and you had really efficient dendrite production. It's not like the band put down a ton of liquid - but it managed 15 or 20:1 ratios with efficient flake production.
